Community Outreach

Community Outreach Information

As part of our community outreach program we offer a variety of nonpartisan, educational presentations at community events, high schools, businesses, non-profit organizations and senior living communities, just to name a few. These presentations are free of charge. Below is a description of the various presentations we offer.

Voter Education Presentation

Voter education presentations cover election specific information (e.g. how a closed primary works), election dates and deadlines, voter registration requirements, the Official Voter Information Guide, what’s a sample ballot, voting at the polls, voting by mail and early voting, accessibility, and bi-lingual voter services. During the presentation individuals can register to vote, complete a request for voting by mail and receive information about working as an Election Day poll worker.

Voter Registration Drive Presentation

If your organization is interested in conducting a voter registration drive, the Washoe County Registrar of Voters Office can provide a presentation on the requirements for conducting a drive. They will also teach you how to check if each registration form is completed correctly, as well as provide general information about the voting process.
